I had a really busy weekend.
The kind where you sit at your desk on Monday morning, exhausted, thinking, “What the heck happened to the weekend?”.
It was full of good things, but I felt like I had to be “on” the whole weekend. Until right now, I haven’t had a chance to decompress. You know, just vegetate on the couch to simmer down.
I won’t get into all the sordid details, but this weekend reminded me to be thankful for the things I’ve been blessed with.
Namely,
My home. It’s not the Taj Mahal, but it’s cute, cozy and clean. What more do you really need?
My husband. He’s literally the most wonderful man I know. He’s so sweet and tender with Grace and I and would never do anything to hurt us. He gives and gives & loves and loves. We’re truly spoiled… in the best way.
My ability. I’ve often loathed the fact that I’m extremely capable. I generally tend to think that it leads to more burden than anything else. But that’s not entirely true. It really leads toward helping others if I channel it properly. And using it to help others is truly gratifying.
Now I’m going to take the rest of the evening to sit on my couch in my cozy living room with my wonderful husband and watch a movie. While eating cookie dough brownies!
Recipe forthcoming :)
I can *totally* relate to you on all of those, but especially the “being too capable” one. I have felt that way a lot over the years, but, your right, it is a blessing.
side note, I read your mom's comment… my mom is “mom k” too :) and it sounded a lot like something she would write.
d*mn girl! Do you have any of those brownies left? Don't hold out on me now!:) And, I agree with Ellen. I think you left someone in your household out:) And perhaps you should also add how thankful you are for being able to do a little twirl on the way to do a load of laundry. I laugh everytime I think of that.
Awwww…. I totally agree about Andy, he is amazing!!! And girl…. thanks for hooking me up!!! I can only imagine how hard it would be to be so capable, and people like your Madre', needing you!!! Just so you know, you gave so wonderfully this weekend!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!! I love you and thank God for you….
It would appear that you are missing something. Or someone. Cough Cough–hint hint!
I totally agree with you in being Thankful for what we are blessed with. I was reminded of the same thing over the weekend.
Thanks babe, I love you too!
